The gold is recovered from this solution by electrowinning zinc precipitation or refining technology such as the Mintek Minataur process The eluted carbon may still contain various organic 48 2 4 4Au NaCN O H O NaAu CN NaOH → 22 2 The process design of gold leaching and carbon in pulp circuits
The trademarked process called Clevr uses a 2% bleach solution in leaching kinetics the chemical reaction that separates gold from ore to release gold within a couple of hours versus 36 hours
Conventional gold cyanidation requires a sufficient supply of oxygen in order to improve the leaching kinetics Ensuring consistent availability of oxygen in the leaching system can increase
It was calculated that the global warming potential for direct chloride leaching Base leaching conditions in the Total oxidation scenario would be t CO 2 eq for 1 kg of gold whereas Severe leaching conditions in direct chloride leaching would result in t CO 2 eq with complete sulfide oxidation
The novel thiosulfate leaching process in the absence of copper and ammonia OPTL can effectively extract gold at elevated temperature and oxygen pressure % gold extraction was achieved without additives in 4 h under the optimal leaching condition of MPa oxygen pressure M Na 2 S 2 O 3 original pH 12 and 85 °C whilst 55
An acceptable gold leaching rate of to μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ could be obtained under the conditions of above mol/L copper and thiosulfate concentrations View Show abstract
In Leaching for Gold there is often a tendency to overlook or minimize the importance of the small mine The small mine of today may develop into the large mine of tomorrow Under proper management and financing it has as good a chance of yielding a profit as the larger property Unfortunately large capital is seldom interested in them and
Processing of gold ores with high sulfide minerals is problematic as they consume cyanide and reduce gold leaching Optimization of gold leaching and cyanide consumption requires a methodology to
CYANIDE IN GOLD PROCESSING THIOSULPHATE LEACHING Thiosulphate leaching is a process that removes gold from gold bearing ores without the use of cyanide Although not as aggressive a leaching agent as cyanide thiosulphate offers several technological advantages including its lower toxicity and greater efficiency with gold deposits
More than 83 per cent of the world s gold is extracted via cyanidation because of its convenient operation low cost and high leaching rate However cyanide has a high biological toxicity and poor leaching performance in refractory gold ores containing copper and carbon Nunan et al 2017 Nwaila et al 2019 Hence extensive studies have been conducted on
Gold Leaching Process Circuit NO CY 1 This leach plant shows the continuous counter current decantation system in which all the ore is first reduced to a very fine state in the grinding mill classifier circuit in a Gold Leaching solution The slime overflow of the classifier usually 70%—200 mesh or finer is sent to the first thickener
Gold leaching using thiourea M thiourea pH 3 h following pretreatment using HCl and Citrate and no pretreatment M Reprinted with perimission from [66]
Solution treatment is used when the cyanide level in decant or process solution must be lowered prior to being discharged into the environment Treatment of WAD cyanide to low levels is normally required to ensure the protection of human health or aquatic ecosystems Treatment technologies for solutions commonly employ chemical oxidation and polishing

Use of acidic thiourea instead of cyanide would allow for immediate leaching of gold without neutralization and result in considerable savings through the elimination of the neutralization step For the thiourea process to compete industrially with cyanidation it is essential to develop efficient process es to recover the gold from solution
Low quantities of PbS PbO and Pb NO 3 2 largely retard gold leaching due to passivation by PbO/Pb OH 2 Where high concentrations of dissolved lead occur phosphate or carbonate can be added to precipitate Pb 3 PO 4 2 or PbCO 3 to remove the passivation layer of Pb II and improve gold leaching Alonso Gomez and Lapidus 2009 Xia and Yen
Traditionally once gold ore is mined from the ground it s crushed to a powder and passed through a series of tanks in a process called leaching Cyanide is then used to separate the gold from the ore into the leached solution With the new process the leaching and recovery process is done with chloride one of two elements in table salt
Chlorine bromine and iodine are well known lixiviants for leaching gold as reviewed by Tran et al 2001 Chlorination was applied extensively in the late 19th century before the introduction of the cyanidation process Bromine/bromide for leaching gold from ores was reported as early as 1846
The leaching and carbon adsorption kinetic data are fitted to Eqs 2 3 which have been shown in many projects to describe gold leaching and adsorption rates well These equations are then used in CIP and CIL models to predict profiles of gold in solution on the carbon and in the leach residue across a series of leaching and adsorption
In the formula M 1 M 2 are the weight of raw material and dry weight of alkali leaching residue g ; ε means the leaching rate % ; β 1 means the grade of Te in the alkali leaching residue and β 2 refers to the grade of Te in gold leaching tailings Cyanidation Leaching Gold Tailing Oxidation Roasting Alkali Leaching Test After mixing the cyanide leaching gold
Alkaline sulfur containing lixiviants including thiosulfate polysulfides and alkaline sulfide solutions stand out as a promising class of alternatives to cyanide because of their low toxicity high efficiency and strong adaptability In this paper we summarized the research progress and remaining challenges in gold extraction using these noncyanide
